Hey, Ann, you certainly are clever... I'm the same way. I had a nice black basket they have at Walmart that sat on the back battery rack. It was really good looking, but I took it back and got the packs (why do they call them pannieres(sp?), we're in U.S., not France.

I did get the seat post I wanted and Currie paid for it. I've had it checked out completely at the local shop. I rode the bike only twice so far, just around our parking lots 'n up and down some of the hills just to practice shifting, getting used to it. I'm disappointed about:
1) When I make a sharp turn the front wheel starts to go into a wobble, but only slightly. It is acting strange. Mark (local bike guy) put the wheel on and I'm sure he knows what he's doing, so who knows.
2) This bike can barely get me up a slight hill on smooth pavement... it's really struggling and going very slowly!
3) The kickstand is way too long and straight for this bike... the bike can tip over easily and that's quite a nuisance. Mark said it takes a special tool to get it off and maybe he can try to bend it out a bit, but he has to drag that tool out of hiding since he seldom needs to use it. He agrees, the stand is way too high and makes the bike too unsteady. Anyone passing can barely touch it and it'll keel over.

So... so far I'm not too happy, but I do realize these are minor kinks that need to be dealt with.
I got a rack pack that goes on both sides of the rear battery rack. It was at Walmart's for about $24 and it's VERY roomy, two zippered sections on each side.
I don't have a camera, so I can't take a photo of this bike, but while I was in the shop a police officer came in and was admiring it. He couldn't believe Currie could put this much power on the bike and have it look so subtle... me too.
Anything else I should know about or should or shouldn't do, just let me know.
